Other than GYTR handguards, the bike is completely stock. All i have done is drop the needle a clip and adjust the pilot air screw. I absolutely love it, my only complaint is the seat hight is a little high. Suspension is fantastic, motor is crisp, gearing is great once you get used to it.
+E.DUNN I was really hoping it would have came with the wr 6 speed, but I guess Yamaha designed the x the same way racers were converting the yz250 mx bike for gncc racing. I'm torn between the 250fx and the 250x. I'm coming off a TTR 230 that I've ridden now for 2 seasons on intermediate to advanced single track and have taken it to it's limitations. I do like how it tractors through the tight stuff and want my next bike to be able to do the same, but with more grunt you get from a full size bike. I'm wondering how the x would preform with a 13oz flywheel weight.
+E.DUNN I noticed the alberta plates, if you haven't been to Noble Canyon in Lavington BC 15min east of Vernon, it's worth checking out. They trails are endless here.
I am looking at possibly purchasing one of these. I read recently where someone swapped the stock seat with a 2002 YZ250 seat. He stated that the '02 seat was lower. Something to think about. Thanks for sharing the video.
Great looking area to ride!
dmsentra thanks. It is quite enjoyable for a family ride
Looks like your riding up Chattaway.
William Fonseca fairly close terrain. This was just west of merritt.
Beautiful riding area! If only the cams could give you the true perspective of the dpwnhills, eh? Nice vid.
Yes haha. Its all looks flat on camera
Did you have to add a flywheel weight or go up to a 52t sprocket? How do you like the bike in the tough stuff?
